Peripheral pci cards for personal computer
|
|
|
| Normally such cards are operating at DC 5V/12V from the personal computer
and outside the scope of LVD
Directive. Is it ok to bear CE mark without any safety test on such items?
Or there is another directive to cover this loophole?
Thanks,
Ray

Whilst true that the LVD would not apply in this case, the CE mark
states that the item meets ALL Relevant Directives. It would be
prudent to place a document in the technical construction file that
the item has been reviewed/considered against the LVD and found to be
non-applicable (call it protecting your back) ;-)

In the case of PCI cad for personal computer I would be more
worried about the EMC compliance.

I recommend this also.
Make the technical construction file that lists all the
relevant directives related to your equipment and how
your device complies with them. Complying with them
might mean built according some suitable standard, tested
agaist sutiable standard, directive is non-applicable
to your device etc..

| Many thanks for your useful advice. I have learnt that LVD Directive is
being revised to remove the low voltage limit in addition to others. Is it
true and where I can get the any draft for reference?
